Can the US Expect A European Islamic Style Revolution?

Hugh Hewitt’s radio show guest Frank Gaffney, from the Center for Strategic Policy, commented upon the riots that have been raging for nearly a week in the grimy underclass suburbs of Paris, which are heavily populated by North African Muslims.

Gaffney stated that the “sky is indeed dark” and characterized the Parisian riots as open warfare. Europe has begun to reap the crop of radical Islam sown when the native European populations were no longer able nor willing to fill the needs for cheap labor. To provide the labor, the Europeans embarked upon a deliberate and massive importation of Muslims from Turkey and North Africa. True to their nature, the insular Islamic society did not meld into the general European population, which created a fertile breeding ground for Islamic fundamentalism. Europe, specifically Paris this week, is witnessing the inevitable results of a social evolution directly resulting in an Islamic revolution.

Gaffney stated that all of us (including the US) are in the “crosshairs of Islamic-fascism.” While that is true, there are major differences to the degree of the current threat between the US and Europe. Like Europe, the US has a large need for cheap labor. However, the US is obtaining the majority of its cheap labor force from Hispanics, who share common social values and bonds. That is not to say that there is not a considerable US threat from foreign and home-grown Islamics.

Islam is perhaps the fastest growing religion in the US and one chief breeding ground is the prison system. In California, it is estimated that Islamic prisoners account for 10,000 of the 166,000 prisoners and most of them are Sunni. Within any general population of Muslims, a small minority are going to be fundamentalists, who have the potential to evolve into Islamic-fascists. Such was the case of Kevin James, who formed the Islamic-fascist group Jam'iyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh (JIS) while in a California state prison. A JIS plot to attack a number of Los Angeles area targets was recently discovered.

Gaffney is correct, the US is in Islamic crosshairs. It is just going to take a little longer than for the Europeans. Do you suppose we can learn something from the European experience?

2nd. Update 11/5/o5: Rioting Spreading Across France

Marauding youths torched nearly 900 vehicles, stoned paramedics and burned a nursery school in a ninth night of violence that spread from Paris suburbs to towns around France, police said Saturday. Authorities arrested more than 250 people overnight - a sweep unprecedented since the unrest began.

1st. Update: In a seventh day of violence:

The unrest spread to at least nine Paris-region towns overnight Tuesday, exposing the despair, anger and criminality in France's poor suburbs — fertile terrain for Islamic extremists, drug dealers and racketeers.

The violence, concentrated in neighborhoods with large African and Muslim populations, has highlighted the difficulties many European nations face with immigrant communities feeling marginalized and restive, cut off from the continent's prosperity and, for some extremists, its values, too.

"If French society accepts these tinderboxes in its society, it cannot be surprised when they explode,"
